JBR Regularisation of Unauthorised Works

Whatever unauthorized work exists in your JBR apartment — structural, MEP, or fire-safety related — regularisation brings it into full compliance across DHCM, DDA, and DCD as needed.

The Regularisation Approach

Regularisation starts with a comprehensive assessment of all unauthorized works in your unit, then addresses each authority's requirements systematically — rather than piecemeal fixes that risk missing a compliance gap.

Full Regularisation Process

01

Comprehensive Unauthorized Works Audit

02

Structural Assessment (if applicable)

03

How Our Approval Process Works

Our expert engineers handle the entire NOC process, ensuring faster approvals and full compliance with Dubai regulations.

Why a Comprehensive Approach Works Best

Addressing unauthorized works one issue at a time risks missing related compliance gaps — a comprehensive audit and coordinated submission across all relevant authorities resolves your full compliance picture in one process.

Documents Required

  • Title deed (or tenancy contract plus landlord NOC for tenants)
  • Owner passport and Emirates ID copy
  • Affection plan / site plan
  • Violation notice or VSR report (if any)
  • Previously approved drawings, if available
  • Photos of the unapproved works

Key Technical Rules

  • Survey what is built: an as-built survey shows exactly what differs from the approved drawings.
  • Structural assessment: unpermitted works are checked for safety before anything is submitted.
  • Approve or remove: works that cannot be approved must be modified, removed or reinstated.
  • Retrospective NOC and permit: approvable works go through the developer and the authority.
  • Needed before sale: clearance is usually required before sale, handover or a VSR.

Regularisation — FAQs

What if I'm not sure what unauthorized works exist in my unit?

Our comprehensive audit identifies all compliance gaps, including ones you may not be aware of.

Does regularisation always require corrective physical works?

Not always — some issues are resolved through proper documentation alone, while others need structural or MEP correction.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your plot or unit details, title deed or affection plan, any existing drawings and a short description of the works — we confirm the approvals needed and prepare the submission.

Will regularisation affect my ability to sell the unit?

Resolving compliance issues before a sale generally simplifies the transaction rather than complicating it.

Can Structural Solutions manage the entire regularisation process?

Yes — from initial audit through final multi-authority approval, we manage the complete process.
